Re: Mouthpieces and reeds by the numbers

My wife and I both play professionally on the same model of mouthpiece, we have about 4 or 5 hand picked mouthpieces that are more or less the same- as far as such things are possible, and find that we need reeds about half a size different from each other. I only mention this to illustrate how varied such things can be.
On a contrasting tack- I have a Hawkins S mouthpiece and 2.5 Legere reed that I use for students (when they have forgotten instrument, reeds or only have terrible reeds) and I find that the majority of students actually make a similar result using this, and almost invariably sound better than on their usual set up. I sometimes get this effect even with more advanced students (who typically favour a reeds that is too hard no matter what we tell them)
